3rd gear power flow 

Function requirements for power flow in 3rd gear, general 

Power flow in 3rd gear, general 

The following multidisk brakes and multidisk clutches are engaged:

Power flow in 3rd gear takes place via the following gear sets:

Ravigneaux gear set 

The components of the Ravigneaux gear set are interlocked with each other by the switched multidisk clutch K1 (46) and pass on the transmission input torque and the input speed unchanged to the ring gear (9).

Rear single planetary gear set 

The ring gear (9) drives the planetary gears (51). These roll over the stalled sun gear (11) and transmit the rotary motion to the planet carrier (10).

Front single planetary gear set 

The ring gear (12) has a mechanical connection to the planet carrier (10) and rotates at the same speed. The planetary gears (52) roll on the stalled sun gear (14) and transfer the subsequently increased torque and reduced rotational speed to the main shaft via the planet carrier (13). The main shaft therefore rotates in the direction of engine rotation with reduced input speed.
